The British police have thwarted a major terrorist plan to blow up 20 airplanes over the UK and the U.S. Police have arrested 20 people so far.

What was the new way to blow up airplanes? The terrorists were planning to use liquid explosives that were not detectable by X-Ray machines.

Heathrow Airport in England has been shutdown. Can anyone guess what religion the terrorist will likely be?

I am starting to think there was another 10 airplanes planned to be blown up in the U.S. as well. Meaning that 20 from England and 20 from the U.S. for a total of 40!

There is an interesting article about 11 Egyptian students in the U.S. that failed to show up to their university and one was taken into custody for being irate at a ticket counter.

Chicago police on Thursday morning arrested one of the 11 Egyptian students who were wanted for failing to show up for an exchange program in Montana.

At 8 a.m., about four hours after heightened security restrictions went into effect following a foiled terror plot in Britain, a man at the Delta terminal at O’Hare International Airport tried to use a ticket to go to Bozeman, Montana, but his ticket was out of New York rather than Chicago, police Supt. Philip Cline said at a news conference.

A disturbance then ensued. “He was raising his voice for the level for the counter agent to call for the police officer to come over,” Cline said.

The man, Ahmed Mohamed Mohamed Abou El Ela, 22, was found to be one of the missing Egyptian students, Cline said.

”He was acting in a strange, erratic behavior, and the Delta supervisor and they went a little farther in their investigation with the ticket, and they discovered that he was one of the missing students that they were looking for,” said Chicago police officer Tim Bolger, who arrived at the scene.

“We get disturbances occasionally, but it’s not unusual for people to be a little irate at the ticket counter,” added Bolger.

The Delta supervisor contacted the university, who in turn told her to call the Chicago Police Department and the FBI, Bolger said.

“They say he was kind of fidgety, moving around and kind of talking in a loud voice, which caused for a little bit of alarm,” Bolger said.

Authorities began searching for the 11 Egyptian students after they arrived in the United States last month, but failed to show up for an exchange program at Montana State University.

“For 11 individuals to completely, basically, fall of the radar in the United States, that’s a concern,” said Former Special FBI Agent George Bauries.

Two other students were arrested Thursday in suburban Baltimore. Three more were arrested on Wednesday -- one in Minnesota and two in New Jersey. The other six arrived as planned at the Montana school.

The Egyptian men were among a group of 17 students who arrived in New York from Cairo on July 29 with valid visas, according to U.S. authorities and university officials.

methinks they might be Islamic fundamentalists??? No matter what it is another blow to the airline passenger. Now I can't bring my water on the plane? I never use the train...why don't terrorists plot on the railways.

Oh, sorry, it is early and I am cranky. I am glad that no one was killed and we survived another plot unscathed.

And guess who's got a flight to Europe this weekend?

I'm really looking forward to the three-hour security lines and not being able to carry a freakin' bottle of water on my eight-hour flight.

To the would-be terrorists...the Bear says, "Thanks alot jackasses."
